Desperate for help to go and see my family.

Wellington

I have been in NZ for over 35 years. In this span of time, I have only been home 3x (1990, 1998 and 2008) due to my family situations. I raised my 3 kids alone and I don't have any direct family member in NZ. The last time I went home was 15 years ago.

I have lost my father in 1999, my sister in 2009, my brother in 2014 and my mother in 2017. I did not have the chance to farewell neither one of them. 2020 the world got struck by COVID, things have gone from bad to worse and a lot more of my extended family vanished for all sorts of reasons.

Despite all the adversities, I was an active member and volunteer of the big Filipino community nationwide. I was very active with the dissemination of assistance to all those who come to us for help. But now, it is me who is appealing for help. I really would like to go home to finally farewell my dearly departed family members but I do not have the resources to do so. When a dear friend suddenly passed away over the Christmas break, it hit me a lot. I can't afford to lose all my remaining siblings, nieces, nephews and grand nephews and grand niece without meeting them.

I am appealing for financial assistance towards my airfare and a small pocket money. I will be very grateful for anyone's help. Thank you in advance.

Journey back home  17 May 2023

Just thought to update all about the outcome of my fundraising. I thank all people who generously donated to my cause.

I didn't quite get to the target but I am very grateful that I was given the opportunity to travel back home home soon after 15 years. I can't wait to see my family after all these years. I am counting the days and again, thank you.
